    Lorex System. Can I use other branded camera's?

    I have a Lorex system and as long as the cameras you want to attach are ONVIF compliant then you shouldn't have any problems connecting to the Lorex NVR.

    Will this Intel NUC Support BI?

    My NUC currently has about 10TB of storage and could go higher if I wanted....so that's nothing to sneeze at. The NUC is a great little mini PC, but it's just expensive. My main storage right now is the NVR since I abandoned using BI.

    Will this Intel NUC Support BI?

    This is the NUC that I have.....it makes no noise and easily fits inside my equipment cabinet. I don't have physical space for a full size PC much less want the fan noise in our TV room. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N3F44RX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    SSD instead of HDD in a NVR?

    NVR's are designed to use HDD drives and I'm not certain the firmware would even support using SSD drives or have a way to physically mount them inside the chassis. SSD drives in general have become more reliable and many laptops and mini-PC's use them these days because they're physically...

    HDMI Splitters for NVR

    You can't run power over HDMI. You could use something like this and then run Ethernet cable between the NVR location and the offices. This model can only support 1080P video, but there might be a model that supports 4K video if you research it more than I did...

    Mounting a Turret Camera

    I'm not sure what you mean by "camera completely rotated", but you might consider using a pole clamp mount and the camera angle can be adjusted without requiring a wedge. The weather resistance will depend on specific camera ratings set by the manufacturer...

    Shielded cable help

    Yes...the cable shield terminates the same way inside the shielded RJ45 connector itself on BOTH ends. Whatever the RJ45 cable connector plugs into determines the shield ground or drain path on either end if a ground path exists.

    Shielded cable help

    Okay....let's start with the basics. Every shielded cable I've ever used, built, or purchased has shielded connectors on both ends....not shielded on one end and unshielded on the other, so think about that for a second. In the case of the Ubiquiti POE injector, they're internally using the...

    leaving cams and blue iris if you sell house

    The security cameras can be a selling point for the new buyer. If you're moving for a company everything happens pretty fast and you don't have a lot of time to make preparations, much less mess around with removing a security camera system.

    Trying to connect a Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU camera to a Dahua NVR4108HS-8P-AI/ANZ login return time is up

    Try deleting the camera from the NVR entirely and then search for new devices. If the camera is detected then re-add it to the NVR with the correct login credentials and hopefully that will fix it. I had the same error issue with one of my cameras and the procedure I just described was the only...

    Is this Cat 6 cable any good?

    Sometimes if you're running additional Cat6 cable though an already existing access hole without much clearance due to other cables passing through, that Cat6 inner core can be the make or break different between whether that cable can fit though the hole or not. In those rare cases and assuming...

    Contractor left me with this to mount my cameras

    I used one of those as a backer plate to mount my PTZ camera because the metal cover that came with the camera box was too thin to hold the heavy weight of the PTZ. I drilled some holes and used JB weld to fasten nuts behind the thicker plate which works fine as long as you don't use a screw gun...

    Contractor left me with this to mount my cameras

    How heavy is the camera...? Three screws might be enough depending on what you're mounting but doing some custom fabrication work is normal when it comes to installing cameras.

    Downgrading Lorex E892DD firmware

    Hello and welcome to the Forum!! You will need to contact Lorex tech support to get the latest firmware file for your NVR unless you can find it posted online somewhere, but don't tell them what you did otherwise they'll quickly be done with you. Just be aware that most manufacturers don't...

    Hikvision NVR NIC frozen

    For things like this I always start from the basics. Connect the NVR to your network with no cameras attached..just the NVR. Does it work...?? If not then the problem is within the NVR network port interface. If it does work, then connect one camera at a time to the NVR and see what breaks it...

    How to get wifi to back of wooded property?

    I don't think solar is going to work very well in the woods unless you clear some trees to allow adequate sunlight. Lot's of unknown variables without a visual reference. :idk:

    Lorex 2K doorbell

    Replacing a Lorex doorbell camera under warranty is not that easy. It took me over two weeks of back & forth correspondence to get them to even agree to replace mine under warranty. They'll want you to send videos, photos, answer various questions etc. so you can expect to be challenged and if...

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    IDK....I have six outside pole mounted cameras that are directly exposed to the elements 24/7 and no issues so far after several years. I used sealing gaskets and some caulk where appropriate but that's it. :)

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    Mounting boxes designed for cameras have a drain hole built in....these are the boxes that I use.

    How to ideally seal a cable hole in a 5" PVC camera mounting box?

    If the OP is concerned about water seepage then just caulk around the camera base where it meets the plate and call it a day. If the camera has a waterproof rating then I don't get all the obsession worrying about using sealants. :idk:

    Giving up on PC + Blue Iris- should I try an NVR?

    I have a Lorex NVR and camera system setup that works fine, but with NVR's you're stuck using whatever software application or phone apps they give you although the cameras can still be tuned. I tried Blue Iris and even bought a mini PC for it, but the trial period is just too short and I ran...

    Why NVR PoE Status showing RED Circles?

    See if you have an option on your NVR that says "Reconnect IPC" and click on that.....if the cameras are there then the circles should turn green.

    IP POE Camera stopped working

    That camera looks very old and probably isn't even supported anymore, so my recommendation is to just replace them with new cameras of a well recognized and better supported brand.
